ivith the Eastern delegations will depend
their attitude on the silver question.
Ohio i t° r bimetallism and against the
insertion in the platform of a IG-to-1
plank. The Ohio delegation arrived to
day. They arc a unit in saying that
Ohio did not want the 16-to-l plank in
serted in the platform. ■However, they
will not make a strong tight against it,
ond will accept the result with cheerful
ness.
F'nless the convention favors the nom
ination of the vice presidential candidate
hv acclamation, a complimentary vote
probably will be given on the first ballot
o Judge A. W. Patrick of New Philadel
phia. He will not, however, be formally
nominated. The majority of the dele
gate* apparently fuvor the nomination of
a'man "whom New York can agree upon,"
as one delegate expressed It, either
David B. HIU or Congressman Sulzer be
ing acceptable. Judge Parker also has
friends in the delegation.
Maine— Maine is in favor of the reaf
firmation of the Chicago platform as a
whole, said L. M. Staples of that delega
tion. which arrived to-day. The Maine
delegates probably will follow New York's
lead as to Vice President.
Oklahoma.— The rival Oklahoma delega
tions, rivals over local differences only,
arrived to-day. All of them desire to sup
port some New Yorker for Vice President,
and favor a reaffirmation Of the financial
plank in the Chicago platform, rather
than a specific declaration,
Alabama.— "We are for 16 to 1, first,
last and all the time,” said R. J. Lowe
of Birmingham, when the delegation from
Alabama came in. "We are for a plank
in the platform to that effect, and if any
candidate for either the first or second
place on the ticket should ask any con
cession in that regard, the chances are
that we would be against him. We will
fight for it in the convention if necessary.
From ail we hear, however; we are cer
toin there will be in the platform a specific
declaration for the ratio.
"On the vice presidential proposition
me are for Hill of New York, although
there ore several members of the delega
tion, who favor other men than Hill. But
the majority of our delegates are for him.
We are for him, however, only on the
understanding that he is to demand no
concessions in the platform. If he asks
that 16 to 1 be placed in the background
or left out of the platform, then we are
for somebody else.”
Delaware—The Delaware delegates, with
no unit rule to bind them to the unani
mous support of a particular candidate,
will probably divide their vote on the
vice presidential nomination. Delegate
Harrington said to-day that two members
of the delegation favored the nomination
of Towne and the insertion In the plat
form of a flat declaration In favor of
free silver.
"The majority, however," said he, “fa
vor the nomination of a conservative
man. We believe that a platform can bo
drawn up that will bring the Gold Demo
crats back into the fold and also be suit
able to the Silver Republicans.”
Mr. Harrington added that he believed
the nomination of either David B. Hill
or Congressman Sulzer would he satis
factory to the Democrats of his state.
Maryland—Nearly all the members of
the Maryland delegation, headed by Gov.
Smith, arrived to-day. They declined to
state their position in advance.
Mississippi—Senator Money was among
the early arrivals to-day. He probably
will represent his state in the Committee
on Platform.
"I am for the reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform,” he said, “for a strong
plank in denunciation of imperialism; for
tlie denunciation of trusts and the gold
standard law, and for the severe condem
nation of the rascality in Cuba. I want
an especially strong declaration on Impe
rialism."
Nevada.—Representative Francis G.
Newland* waa the first member of the Ne
vada delegation to arrive. He said the
Nevada delegation will do that which Mr.
Bryan wants done. If Mr. Bryan wants
the specific declaration for 16 to 1. it will
he made. That or a simple reaffirmation
of five Chicago financial plank he regarded
as e splitting of hairs. As to the vice
presidency, he could not answer for the
other delegates, but he favored Towne.
Alaska.—Either a simple reaffirmation
of the Chicago platform or the leaving out
altogether of the 16 to 1 plank, is favored
hy the members of the Alaska delegation,
who arrived here, to-doy. "We are all
silver people, of course," said L. L. Will
iams of Juneau, “but we. believe it is for
the best interests of the party to drop
that issue.”
For Vice President, the Alaska delegates
favor a New York man, either Congress
man Sulzer or David B. Hill.
Texas—The Texas .delegation will ar
rive to-morrow morning in two special
trains. Lee Blanchette and D. P. Wheat
comprised the advance guard, which ar
rived to-night. According to both gen
tlemen, they were instructed for Bryan,
and that, of course, implied that their
delegation would consider no deviation
from the straight path of 16 to 1. On the
vice presidency no choice, "as far as
known, had been made by the delega
tion, and none wilt be made until the
state caucus, to be held to-morrow.
Virginia—One delegate from Virginia
arrived to-night, the banalnce of the dele
gation being due in the morning. The
lone delegate on the ground is C. Man
ning. Jr. He did not claim to speak for
the entire delegation, but said there was
no doubt whatever that the Virginia dele
gation would be for .the specific declara
tion In favor of 16 to 1. One the Vice
Presidency the delegation, Mr. Manning
said, would be inclined to favor Hill if
he did not demand concessions from the
party.
Florida—The members of the Florida
delegation arrived to-night in a body.
They announced that they were for 16 to
1 without evasion or restriciions, and fa
vored Hill for Vice President.
Nebraska.—At a meeting of the Ne
braska delegation to-day, called expressly
for the purpose of making clear Its posi
tion upon the fin.fhcial question, the fol
lowing specific declaration in favor of the
16 to 1 proposition was adopted unani
mously:
"Reaolved, That the Nebraska delega
tion to the Democratic National Conven
tion la unalterably opposed to any surren
der of the principle of bimetallism, and
heartily 1* in favor of inserting in the
national platform, n plank specifically
pledging the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and ellver. at the ratio of 16 to 1,
independently of what any other nation
may do."
The significance of the utterance subse
quently was emphasized by the pains
taken by the members of the delegation
to secure Its wide and prompt distribution
among the delegates and newspaper men.
James Dahltnan. who has been selected
by the Nebraska delegation as that state s
tepresentatlvc on the new National Com
mittee. made the positive statement to-day
that the delegation was a unit in favor of
the nomination of Mr. Towne for Vice
President. Towne campaigned in Nebras
ka last year—on off year In that state —
and Mr. Dahlman soys that his work on
the stump gained for the Democratic party
thousands of votes.
VAN WICK'S PLATFORM.
The New Yorker Submitted n Flank
to Sonttiern Delegation"*
Kansas City, July 2.—Judge Augustus
\lu> Wyck of New York haa a draft of
" platform which has been submitted to
the Southern delegates and is said to
have met with some favor with them. The
document reaffirms the Chicago platform
and practically confines Itself to three
questions—trusts. Imperialism and the
tariff, it says:
“In reaffirming the principles declared
In the platform adopted four years ago,
wt recognize the new questions that have
arisen in the meantime, and are not io
• S,oO<l “ ,urnin * °r faces from
tbejmob.ems that now most urgently cou
f ont the country to those which, though
rightly emphasized by the Chteago con
vention have been for the present some
what shorn of their urgency by the course
of recent events. When the very llte of
free institutions is at stake, we think it
incumbent upon all patriots to waive
their lesser differences to the end that
their united strength may be exerted
against the common enemy."
As to trusts the platform declares that
in the nation. In the several states and
in every municipality the Democracy,
through all its organizations, will wage
unremitting war for the stamping out of
these conspiracies to re-establish under
ne forms of trod*. the power of the
few io rule and rob the many. If the
laws already on the statute books be
found inadequate to the work before us,
we shall enact laws that will admit of
no excuse for official inactivity.”
With reference to imperialism, there is
the following:
"We make a clear distinction between
expansion and imperialism. Bv the
former, we mean that jus* demand of a
rapidly-growing people, distinguished In
highest degree for skill In manufactures,
enterprise in commerce and unrivaled ca
pacity in agriculture, for access to ever
enlarging markets; while, by the latter,
we mean that un-American spirit which
would Identify our flag with tyranny, re
pudiate the principles upon which the
republic was founded and commit us to
the abhorrent task of stifling with the
bayonet the natural aspirations of weaker
communities for liberty. There are nec
essary measures to be taken alike in the
Philippines and China for the mainte
nance of the commercial interests of this
republic, as well as for the effective ex
ercise of our naval and military author
ity in the Pacific ocean, and these the
Democratic party will, withfcut violating
any principle, either of our own Declara
tion of Independence or the right of other
people, not hesitate to fake; hut we pro
test against the monstrous pretense that,
in order to secure the objects here indi
cated, we must invalidate our own cla m
to existence as a nation.”
The tariff plank declares that "tariff
reform Is called for over the entire circle
of our so-called protected Industries.”
NATIONAL COMMITTEE MET.
Flnnllj- Agreed to Refer Contests to
Sulk-Committees.
Kansas City July 2.—The Democratic
National Committee was called to meet
at the Kansas City Club building at 10
o'clock to-day, but the members were slow
In gathering and did not begin to arrive
for almost an hour after that lime. The
committee heard the report of the sub
committee, which has had in charge the
preparation of convention hall, and then
took up other matters requiring its at
tention. A decision had been reached to
have the various contests over seats
heard by sub-commltte sand not by the

The committee did not manifest a dis
position to accept without question the

contests to sub-committees for hearing, i
and especial objection was made to this
disposition of the Montana controversy.
A motion was made to temporarily seat
the Clark delegation until the Committee
on Credentials could take up the case,
but the motion was almost immediately
voted down.
After a brief debate the sub-committee’s
recommendation was accepted, and Chair
man Jones was authorized to name the
members of the various subordinate com
mittees. During the discussion, Mr.
Campbell of New York indicated prefer
ence for the Clark delegation and Mr.
Clayton of Alabama for the Daly men.
The sula-commlttee on contests appoint

Massachusetts. Campbell of New Yorg,

Camplwll of Ferguson, to the Clark peo
ple. Mr. Wilson’s position is not defined.
When the sub-committees were an
nounced. the committee took up the ques
tion of the distribution of seats in the con

national committeeman five stage seat*
and ten general seats; to each delegate
tour tickets In addition to his own se it,
and to each alternate his own seat only,
the remainder to be left in the hands of
Chairman Jones.

POITMSTS OX THE SCENE.

Kansas Citj - , July 2.—United States
Senators Harris, Allen and Heitfeld, all
Populists, arrived to-day and will remain
during the convention as spectators. All
of them favor the nomination of Towne
for Vice President. "I think Mr. Towne
the best vote getter that can be named,”
said Senator Harris, “but I doubt whether
the convention will have the wisdom to
accept him. My opinion Is that the nom
ination will go either to Indiana or New

Senator Allen said it was foo early to
make a forecast.
"It is likely, however," he said, "the
convention will be guided, to a considera
ble extent, at least, by the wishes of Mr.
Bryan, if he cares to make known what
his wishes are.”

Story Goes Thnt Bryan NVnnlil Ndt

Kansas City. July 2 Since the return
to this city of some of the Democratic
leaders who went to Lincoln to see Air.
Eryaii, a sensational story has been in
circulation.
According to the statements made. If
the Committee on Resolutions reports
simply an Indorsement of the Chicago
platform without reiterating 16 to 1, Mr.
Bryan may come here and on the floor of
the convention offer an amendment and

BRYAN DECLARED FOR 10 TO 1.
Strong Ftterunces in a Speech to
Colorado Visitor*.
Lincoln. Neb., July 2.—With the return
to Kansas City this morning of ex-Sena
tor David B. Hill, and with lilm J. <l.
McGuire and Eugene Hughes of Syracuse,
N. Y., the gentlemen w(io have been clos
est to Mr. Bryan In the consultations over
the platform and vice presidency, the con
ference stage at the Bryan home has given
way to the more spectacular features.
These began to-day with the arrival of
the Colorado delegation, accompanied by
visitors to the number of over 100.
So far as the platform which Mr. Bryan
favors is concerned, it it supposed to have
been entrusted to Senator Hill to manage
it at the Kansas City end. The vice pres
idency is not so clear, but the develop
ments of the day seemed to emphasize
the belief that Congressman Suizcr Is no
longer In the running. Senator Hill and
District Delegates Hughes ami McGuire
are not for him. Among the Lincoln
crowd, now that the Nebraska delegates
themselves, who are for Towne, have
gone, the name of Carter Harrison Is
more frequently mentioned than that of
any other second place possibility. Mayor
"Harrison, it is asserted, would be accept i
ble to Mr. Bryan, hut U is believed that
not even to his Intimates has he expressed
a leading preference as to hit running
mate.
Strong Declarations.
The new front porch of the Bryan
home received Its real dedication to-day.
The Colorado contingent, over 100 strong,
and including most of the delegates, stop
ped over from 8 o'clock until neon and
visited Mr. Bryan In a body.
In response to an address from a mem
ber of the delegation. Mr. Bryan said: "I
thank you for this friendly call, and as
sure you I appreciate your good will and
kindly Interest, and 1 am sure that the
citizens of Lincoln join with me wheiwji
say that I am glad to see you here.
”1 am sure that Colorado people are no
more anxious for the realization of the
principles of the Dftn craslc pLt.orm tna i
are the people of many other states But
1 want to say to you that when Colorado
forsakes the principle of 16 to 1. and when
the people have ceased In their support ot
tbe principle, I will still be found fighting,
even though alone.
“The Republicans held their national
convention at Philadelphia on the anni
versary of the founding of their party,
thereby exhibiting a partisan spirit. The
Democrats hold their convention in Kan
sas City on July 4. the anniversary of the
birth of the nation, thereby manifesting
a patriotic spirit. The Republicans would
repeal the Declaration of Independence,
the Democrats would reaffirm It every
where throughout the world.
"There Is one great principle to he
fought for In the coming campaign, and
that is whether or not the dollar shall be
placed above the man. Where man and
the dollar come in conflict, and tbe Re
publican party stands for the dollar first,
the Democrats stand for the man. Where
there was one reason In 1896 for carrying
Colorado’s Democratic ticket there are
sixteen reasons now.
"The Democratic party stands for the
same prineiplese, in the North as well ns
in the South, the East as well as in the
West. Ours ia a party whose speakers do
not have to revise their speeches for each
section of the country they visit."
Mr. Bryan was vociferously applauded
at the conclusion of his address.
GEORGIA DELEGATES MET.
Opposition to n Platform Indorsing
That of 1896 tn Toto.
Atlanta, July 2.—The Georgia delegation,
en route to Kansas City, held a meeting
in St. Louis to-night. There is strong op
position in the delegation to a> platform
which indorses in letter and spirit the
platform of ’96, Hon. Clark Howell was
indorsed as national committeeman from
Georgia. Louis F. Garrard was chosen as
the Georgia member ot the Committee on
Platform, and Price. Gilbert for commit
teeman on rules. The delegation Is unan
imous for the seating of Clark of Mon
tana, if his claim is a good one.
NOT A CANDIDATE.
Though Carter Harmon Dora Not
Soy He Wouldn't Accept.
Chicago, July 2.—Regarding the vice
presidential situation, Mayor Harrison
made the following statement before leav
ing for Kansas City this afternoon:
"I am not a candidate, I do not think
the convention will play arty favorites.
I am In favor of nominating an Eastern
man, and I believe one will be nominated
It weuld be discourteous for me to say I
would not accept the nomination If it is
offered me. I think my name will not go
before the convention."
Address to the People.
Kansas City, July 2—A comm'ttee ap
pointed by the llnited Sta es Monetary
League has prepared an address to the
Amtrican peqple and will sulmlt it to the
meeting of the League to be held to-mor
row. The address denounces the money
power, tracing the. evils of trusts and im
p rails m to that source and declares thai
the only remedy for monetary troubles is
free coinage at 16 to 1.
Hill Rock at Kansas City.
Kansas City, July 2.—Ex-Gov. David B.
Mill returned from Lincoln, Neb., at 1:20
o'clock this afternoon. He said he might
have something to say later.
”1 am tired and hungry,” he said, "and
do not care to talk at this time.”
DIDN’T CARE ABOI’T RATIO.
Gen. Warner Raised a Howl at the
Meetlag of the Monetary League.
Kansas City, July 2.—Til* placidity of
the meeting of the United States Mone
tary League was considerably ruffled In
the closing hours to-day by statements
from. Gen. A. J. Warner of Ohio, who
was a volunteer speaker, taking the time
and place which had been assigned to Mr.
Sulzer, who failed to appear. Gen. War
ner was introduced by ex-Gov. St. John,
who called him the father of the cause of
free silver. Warner caused the first flut
ter of excitement by saying that so far
as he knew, there was no proposition to
change the ratio of coinage. The live
question of ehe hour, he added, is to get
silver restored to Its former place, where
it would have the same rights ay gold.
”1 don't care anything about Ihe ratio
of 16 to I," he said. “Get silver restored,"
he added, “catch your hare first, then cook
It. Regulate silver automatically and you
settle the question. 1 sometimes think we
have laid too much stress on 16 to 1. 1 am
in favor of it. hut there are and must
always he conditions which may change
the ratio.”
Heated About Silver.
Mr. Berry of Pennsylvania Interrupted
and asked if Gen. Warner was not giving
away some of the secrets of the platform.
Before Gen. Warner could reply Mr.
Harvey asked him: "Do you understand
the history of free coinage?”
Gen. Warner replied without perturba
tion that he had made a study of it, and
he begged leave to say to Mr. Harvey and
others that (here had been no legs) action
ttikenr hy Congress on the question of
ralio.
Interruptions followed with rapidity,

and exceptions to the speaker's views be
came heated. Waiting a moment for
quiet, Gen. Warner continued:
"1 tell you the question of 16 to 1, is
going to cut little figure in this cam
paign. The Issues will be nitti-imperial
ism and trusts, and what we should do
for humanity, and the question of rat.o
will sink Into infinitesimal insignificance."
Mr. Harvey leaped upon a tabic and,
repeating former statements, added:
“If the people do not instruct Congress
before election on the question of ratio,
Congress would never agree. And I stand
here to say to you." pointing to Gen.
Warner, "16 to 1 has been demanded by
our leader, Col. Bryan, and we will follow
his lead."
A motion to add Gen. Warner to the
Committee on Resolutions brought out
several objections, and Gen. Warner set
tled the problem by declining to serve. A
vote asking Gen. Warner to address the
convention to-morrow at 10 a. m. on the
currency bill was unanimously passed,
and the convention adjourned until that
hour.
After the convention Gen. Warner was
waylaid at the entrance by many who
had been present, and some of them de
nounced him politically, and in some In
stances personally. The outside protest
was as vigorous as that of the Inside.
Hon. Charles I. Thomas of Denver,
president of the league, culled the
meeting to order, and introduced Hon.
Edward H. Stiles of Kansas City as
chairman, who read the call of the league.
, Mr. Stiles followed with a brief speech,
in which he said that after three years
of affiliation with the Republican party,
he waa now ready to hand in his adhe
sion to the Democratic party. He
charged fhat the Republican party had
violated Its promise* on. financial ques
tions He sold the Republican party had
now taken the place of Spain In the Phil
ippines, and waa shooting down the patri
ot* of the islands.
On motion of W. H. (Coin) Harvey,
a committee was appointed to prepare and
report to the league a declaration of prin
ciples. The committee consists of W. H.
Harvey. John P. St. John. Dr. A. A.
Johnson, Colorado; F. J. Van Voris, In
-1 dtana; A. Delmar of New York, and
James B. Weaver of lowa.
“Coin” Harvey Spoke,
Mr. Harvey was Introduced as the first
speaker. His subject was "The Connec
tion Between Money, Trusts and Impe
rialism.” He declared that in the last
forty years there had been organized in
this country a band of money lenders.
They meet annually and have finally suc
ceeded In cornering the supply of money
and controlling W. By the act of the last
Congress, the government had gone out
of the business of issuing paper money,
except as It was called for by the or
ganization to which he referred. Money
in the hands of this organization was
money to loan, and in this respect the
object for which money was made is di
verted. The scale of wages, he said, has
not declined very much, but this had
been nullified by strikes and labor agi
tations, the results of the trusts and
money lenders’ organization. The Re
publican administration was also respon
sible for an Increasing tenantry system
in this country.
The fight for civilization was now on hy
the Democratic party. It was more de
termined than It ever had been and would
never be given up until it won. The
prosperity of which the Republican par
ty boasted so much was the result of
the Spanish wS and the demand caused
by famine In India. He was In favor of
the expansion of civilization, and not of
cruelty.
At the conclusion of Mr. Harvey's ad
dress the league adjourned until 2 o'clock
this afternoon.

Ex-Gov. St. John was the first speaker
of the afternoon session, his subject be

KILLED AN AMERICAN.
Great Excitement at Fes Recaiiae of
Encroachments.
Tangier. July 2.—There is great excite
ment at Fez, owing to French encroacii
ments on the oasis of Touat. A mob
killed the manager ot a French concern,
who was an American citizen. The Brit
ish consul has demanded the assistant of
the authorities to protect his house, and
the Jewish ghetto is besieged. The lega
tion here Is making serious representations
on the subject.
The name of the victim of the mob was
Marcos Kssugln. The outrage occurred
on Thursday, last. Kssagtn, while riding
on horseback through a narrow street,
jdlted against ihe mule ot a Motoecun re
ligious fanatic anti a dispute <*Mted, the

Essagln, in self-defense, drew hi# re

was the signal for a general attack upon
the American, who received dozens of
knife wounds and whose body was burn
ed, according to some, before life was ex
tinct.
The French minister was Informed of
the crime by a special messenger, and he
notified the American consul. Both the
minister and the consul culled upon Sidi
Torres, the Sultan's minlsier of foreign
affairs at Tangier, and protested against
the outrage.

Is His View.
London, July 3, 4:20 a. m.—lt is clear
that Lord Roberts does not consider the

will be settled enough to permit of the
resumption of business. A large body of

PENNSYLVANIA WON.
The Fonr-OarrU Race, Which Had
Features, Kelt to Her.
Poughkeepsie. N. Y., July 2.—The 'Var
sity four-oar event of the annual regatta
of the Inter-collegiate Rowing Associa
tion, was wort to-day by Pennsylvania in
the fast time of 10 minutes, 31 1-5 seconds.
Columbia was second, three and a half
lengths, official time, 10:38. Cornell, 300
feet back, her crew exhausted and her
bow man, Brlnkerhoff, in u helpless faint,
came to a stop in the eel gram, fifty feat
from the west bank of the river.
The water conditions were perfect, but
only a handful of people saw the contest.
It was a rare filled with spectacular fea
tures entirely unlooked for in eo short
a row. Pennsylvania and Cornell wetsa
nip and tuck for the first half-mile. Be
fore reaching the bridge, marking the first
mile, Cornell and Columbia were both out
of their courses. Urged by Referee Arm
strong. Ihe Columbia men gradually re
gained their place In Ihe course, making a
pretty spurt as they did so, Just below th*
bridge.
At this point there was seen to b*
trouble In the front of the Cornell ohall,
and the boat pointed slightly toward th*
west hank of the river. The Pennsylvania
men hit It up a little as they neared th#
last 'half-mile and prevented the Colum
bia boy*, who were doing magnificent
work, from overhauling them. Refer##
Armstrong shouted again and again
through his megaphone for the Cornall
crew' to get into their course, but soon all
Ihoec aboard the referee’s boat saw this
was useless. The Cornell bow oar, Brlnk
erhoff, half a mile from Ihe finish, was In
a, fainting condition and barely able to
raise his oar from the water; No, 3 waa
distressed, and the diagonal course of the
shell was explained by the loss of the**
sweeps.
A rowboat took their shell in tow, and
the men were taken to meet the Cornell
launch where the bow oarsman was laid
out half unconscious and covered with
coat* and sweaters.
Pennsylvania h* thus won the 'varsity
and the four-oar races of this year's to
gatta. Columbia lias secured one secondl
while Cornell has been forced to take third
place In two everbs and been unable to
finish in the third. The result fairly hears
out what many thought from Coach
Courtney's attitude upon hi* arrival here,
namely. Hist the .Cornell men were at that
lime about at Ihe fine point In thetr train
ing and that they ail went stale before tho
race was rowed. The fact that Brlnker
hoff gave out after five minutes’ work
and that Beyer gave out, shows the phys
ical condition of these two men to ha va
been far beyond the point required for
hard rowing.
